Just as the clock was striking twelve, whom should come walking in, but Maxine and Margaret Sheehan, Marguerite Diem, Mar- garet Rolle, George Vial, Alfred Thomas, Carl Cline and Bob Rose. We then told Lois goodby and went home. . , The next morning I had a finger-wave appointment at Dorothy Smith s shop, and there I met J aniece Bailey, who married a professor. Also Eleanor Wells, who married Gene Cole, and Donna Joy Woodring, who married James Bush- man. I then decided to take Mabel, you know my sister-in-law, to Mikazu Ka- minka's Japanese Museum. It is very interesting to go through. We saw there, Junior Jones, Frances Hama, Florence Goforth, and Herbert Frary. Junior has become a famous dancer. After we had seen everything, we wanted to do some shopping. I remembered hearing someone say that Evelyn Neely and Alice Mortensen had a smart dress shop, so that's where we went after hunting about for an hour. I was surprised to see so many of the old Chemawa girls there, such as, Faye Schwartz, Evelyn Sinsley, Opal Welker, Thelma Forbes, Virginia Mae Bell and Pauline Santo. Vera Barnes has at last married Don Clay, and they seem to be very happy. They are thinking of adopting a baby. Don wants a boy, and Vera wants a girl, so I don't know what it will be. Vera and Mrs. Dick Marmon or Leona Evans, as we all knew her in Chemawa, were sitting with the Marmon twins, when 'we' walked into the Beavers restaurant, owned by Lamoine Beavers. They invited us to sit with them. After we had finished eating our lunch, the twins wanted to go to the show, so we went. We saw Advice to the Lovelorn, starring Hilda Everett and Allen.Bobo. It was very good.

N .15,195. Mr. Harold B. Walker, OV 5 Superintendent of Schools, Riverside, California. Dear Mr. Walker: I hope I am finding everyone fine and happy. I saw our bo la in in the U. S. C.-Stanford football game last week. The way ffe carrisdspthsat ball, he looks like an All-American for sure. I know you must be proud of him. Please excuse any mistakes in grammar or spelling as I have not been to school since I left Chemawa. And I have forgotten what little I learned there. As I had to wait here in the lobby for Mrs. Paul Philbrick, the former Rachael Rathgeber, I thought I would write and tell you about some of the school kids. I was just coming down from the fifth floor, where I now live, when I recognized the elevator boy as George Randall. Well, the other day, Rachael and I went to the Metropolitan Opera House, where we saw the opening performance of Martha We heard the beautiful voices of Ruth Thomas and Bill Miller. After the opera we went to the Robinson Cafe, where we had a cup of tea. This cafe is owned and run by Morris Robinson. As you have probably seen in the papers, Morris is engaged to marry the beautiful Barbara Ashbrook, the Hollywood designer. After we were through, Rachael suggested that we go and see Irene Car- penter at the old Maids Home, of which she is the owner. We had a very nice talk with her. She told us about some of the girls and boys that I had not even heard of since our good old days at Chemawa. She said that Evelyn Basinger, Lila Whitney, and Mariam Babcock are still living in Arlington, and are happy old maids. Sorry to say, she told us that that Mary Francis Humphries died of a heart attack while in her old Maids Home. Then after taking Rachael home, I had to hurry to the Hollywood Plaza, where my sister-in-law, the former Mabel Wagoner, lives with her husband. You see, as we married twins, she is my sister-in-law. It was after six when I arrived there, and as I had made reservations at the Cocoanut Grove for the four of us, we had to hurry. But as you know, when you are in a hurry everything. goes wrong, just as it did with us. VVhen we at last arrived, and were drinking our tea, whom should walk in, but Elizabeth Porter, Ray Westhafer, Lillian Scaffi, and Wilbur Nevin. Elizabeth and Lillian were dressed in formals and looked very nice, but I nearly died laughing to see Ray and Wilbur come in dressed in tuxedos, and Ray kept pulling at his collar, as if it were too tight. The first entertainment was a tap dance, by Jack and Jill, better known to you as Wilda Van Pelt, and Betty Jo Pope. As they were tap dancing a party came and seated themselves at the table next to us. It turned out to be Mrs. Ernest Lopp-the Mrs. being Bertha Carlson, also Henry Crowe and Jeanne Ardrey. The next was a fan dance by Mae Karnes. Al- though she has fought over her fans, she still hangs on to them. After her dance, we danced for a while to the music of Junior Ashford's Tinkle Toy Orcestraf' Page Twenty-Three

Robert Lynch and Dora Mattison have become the year's most sensational ice skating team. They have three gold cups and four silver ones. Evanette Evans has become a dancing teacher. Wylie Day, Luther French, Jim Hackler, Harold Mays and Harold Knoefler, have become very good ski jumpers and belong to the Big Pines skiing club. You remember my cat, Maggie, don't you? Well she just had ten little kittens, and they are the cutest things. I sure wish you could see them. Gee, I almost forgot some big news. Floyd Moreland, Ernest Owens, Wil- liam Reed, Howard Staser and Cameron Thomas, have bought the dance hall out in La Sierra, or Cabbage Center. They seem to be progressing very well, from the reports I have been getting. Well, I see Rachael coming in the door now so I must close. Give Mrs. Walker and the boy my regards. Yours truly, Maxine Oplinger Stalder. P. S.-I don't suppose it is necessary to remind you that four of our most promising classmates were lost in that famous arctic expedition of more than a decade ago. I refer to Douglas Connal, Gerald Hunter, Tom O'Mara and Nyman Wilson. Poor boys, but heroes all! Doris Clark Connal and Goldie Hamilton Wilson were left widows because of that disaster. I understand that Mary Kinzie and Eleanor Salazar are still living in Arlington so you probably know more about them than I do. Toodle-oo, Maxine QAIOQ- X Class Will We, the class of 1935, of Chemawa Junior High School, being of sound mind and body, and having gained the dignity customary to the graduating class, realizing that our remaining days in this institution of knowledge are few, deem it fitting and proper to dispose of all our worldly goods and privi- leges in this, our last will and testament. To the faculty we leave our sincere appreciation for their untiring efforts in trying to force knowledge through the cement blocks on top of our necks, and join with them in their great sorrow at our departure. We bequeath to the eighth grade class the privilege of becoming the highest class in dear old Chemawa and hope they will attain the honor with as much dignity as the present graduating class has succeeded in doing. . The privilege of discarding their despised nickname peagreens is granted to the seventh graders, when in another year they will acquire a less detested name carrot tops. Page Twenty-five
